 The risk remains. Nations that reject the dollar standard tend to get bombed and regime-changed. 
 Hopefully RFK has whispered in Trump's ear.  
 Yeah, that's exactly what I said when your link sent me to screwtube.

 I've been putting inorganic salt in my food all my life. Am I doing it wrong?  
 They never get anything right that people wouldn't have got right sooner without the interference of politicians.

And why are there "sides"? Is it some sort of game?  Politics is divisive in its essence. Without division, politics and politicians have no reason to exist. Without them, we get on with whatever needs doing, unhindered.  
 Starlink is banned where I live. The local comms cartel is deeply intertwined with the parasites in government, so licensing is being blocked, and Starlink are complying.

 I see you're following a whole lot of Bitcoin type people. Try curating your own feed by searching for topics that interest you, and following people that talk about them. Nostr thankfully doesn't have an algorithm that assumes to know what you want to see. 
 Don't expect the psychologically deranged to know how to feed an infant when they don't even know how to feed themselves. 
 We need an NPR style 24/7 talk radio station for Bitcoin. 
 Sounds to me like a curated feed. 
 On climate change

 Yeah, the planet and everything on it was static and perfect before humans came along and upset the equilibrium. Never mind though, we have politicians to tax us and save us from ourselves.

CO2 is not a pollutant.  
 No, the real problem is that there are still people who think that anthropogenic CO2 is causing some sort of climate crisis.

 Politics is divisive. It thrives on division. Without division, politicians wouldn't exist, so let's not be divided. 
 So, the BRICS recently had a little meeting in Kazan, Russia, at which they presented a declaration that appears to be a copy & paste job of the sort of stuff declared ad nauseum  by the UN/WEF. It is full of STGs, pandemic nonsense, vaccines, and all the trappings of the globalist agenda:

 It probably applies to any obsession, but the banality of politics is surely the worst.

 Push us hard enough, and we'll simply concentrate on developing the parallel economy. Sure, to start with it will be difficult to purchase closely regulated/taxed things like real estate, but I don't expect a bunch of highly motivated paranoid crypto anarchists not to rise to the challenge. I say bring it on.

 One should always be suspicious of "champions for causes". Be it Saylor, Elon, Hoskins, Wright, or any politician; the default reaction should be deep suspicion.

 Playstore indicates 50k+ downloads. That's a lot of really stupid people! 
 So, does this give you a warm & fuzzy feeling about the personal attention that you received from powerful Meta prefects, or are you still going to give them the middle finger?  
 I don't think it says anything about either mental health or crime trends. It is simply a reflection of how much more profitable it has become to run a prison than a psychiatric hospital.  
 Great interview as usual by Daniela Cambone. Arthur Laffer slams Dem monetary policy - "the biggest threat to the dollar is the dollar [policy] itself".

 Don't be scared to make mistakes. You learn nothing from being right. 
 In all likelihood, these stats will be skewed even further in favour of Africa in the near future:

 It may just be for "medical reasons" that Africa will thrive. Africans didn't take the covid injection. Watch the video. 
 Who's training that AI? All the wrong people, or all the people who are wrong? 
 Did you know that the average average time spent on vaccinology education for an MBChB in medical schools is around 4 hrs.

Most doctors know essentially nothing about vaccinology, and can offer only their uninformed dogma as advice on the subject.  
 Everyone needs to watch this, and share it far & wide.   Crime committed beyond anything you imagined possible.

 Maybe, maybe not. There's a lot more discussion around "Bitcoin price"  and what affects it than there is around mstr for example. That might explain why it throws up all the ancillary reading instead of the price itself. 
 I love this little lesson on how to interact online. Brava @LynAlden!
